Oil changes, spark plugs, coolant, transmission fluid, and belts are all things I’ve had to maintain for my partner’s car in the past few years that my EV doesn’t need.
Yes, EVs come with a lot less maintenance and running costs. You’ll have to excuse the Facebook-quality image, but this does neatly sum up the main differences:
For the routine stuff: no engine oil to replace, no engine air filter, regenerative braking means you barely use the real brakes. Electric engines are also much simpler so there’s just less to go wrong and need fixing.
lack of maintenance? I don’t see why it would be the case or why it would need less maintenance than a gas(thermal?) cars

Yes, EVs come with a lot less maintenance and running costs. You’ll have to excuse the Facebook-quality image, but this does neatly sum up the main differences:
No oil changes at the very least. There are also around a zillion moving parts in a gas engine, most of which can wear.
For the routine stuff: no engine oil to replace, no engine air filter, regenerative braking means you barely use the real brakes. Electric engines are also much simpler so there’s just less to go wrong and need fixing.
You are not sure why EV’s need less maintenance? I don’t quite understand what you’re asking sorry
